Freescale Infocenter

The new Freescale Infocenter is live and the first product that it hosts is CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers

V10.1!

You can get to the Infocenter two ways:

1. By clicking on this link: http://www.freescale.com/infocenter/Codewarrior/index.jsp

2. By going to www.freescale.com/cwmcu10 and clicking on the “Infocenter” link.

Then once you click on either of these links the Welcome page (see below) opens in the right-hand pane and

provides you with the purpose of the Infocenter, a process to provide feedback, and a link to the topic “Tips for

using the Infocenter.”

Purpose: The Freescale Infocenter is your source for the most current technical information for Freescale

products. Currently, we are hosting information for the CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers V10.1 but in the near

future we will expand to other Freescale products.

Providing and viewing feedback: Your feedback helps improve the usefulness of this Infocenter. To provide

Tips for using the Infocenter

Next when you click on Tips for using the Infocenter , the “Tips for using the Infocenter” page below appears.

It summarizes several features to assist you in rapidly finding and using exactly the information you need in an

extensive information set. There are features to keep you oriented as you search, navigate, and click. And there

are features to assist you in consuming the information through bookmarks, special viewing, printing, saving,

and storing.

These tips tell you about features you may miss unless you have extra time to explore the Infocenter interface,

as most busy users do not.

• Control the Scope of your Search Specify the scope of a search at any level of the Infocenter, and do so either "on the fly" or by using scopes

you define and store for reuse.

• Bookmark a Particular Page of Information Bookmark any Infocenter location for later use. The bookmark is added to your browser "Favorites" or

"Bookmarks" list.

• Select Content for Saving, Printing, Linking, or Storing Take advantage of the various ways to select and capture portions of the information for later use.

• Synchronize the Contents Frame and the Topic Display Frame after Searches It's easy to become disoriented or lost after performing searches or otherwise changing your view, but not if

you know how to synchronize the viewing frames.

• Link the Contents Frame and the Topic Display Frame, Optionally across Sessions If you link the contents and topic display frames, they track together even when you click on related links or

other kinds of links in the topic display frame. Otherwise, the contents frame does not change as you click

around in the topic display frame.

Then each of the links above take you to more detailed information about each of these features with specific

CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers V10.1 examples given in the screenshots.

For example, in Control the Scope of your Search the first example given shows you how to search for

“tutorial” in the Processor Expert Manuals. If you do this you will then find all of the tutorials in the Processor

Expert information set!

• Searches can be made on any of the Getting Started content which, incidentally, is a great place for you to

go if you are new to CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers V10.1.
